Cookies and Cream Brownie Bites

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon brewed coffee
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• About 28 Mini Oreos (bite sized)
• About 28 Cookies ’n Cream Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray mini cupcake pans with cooking spray or use mini cupcake liners. Place one Mini Oreo in each cavity.
2. Stir together melted butter, sugar, and cocoa. Stir in eggs, vanilla extract, coffee or water, and salt. Carefully stir in flour. (The coffee just adds a richness to the brownies, but you can use water if you prefer.)
3. Place about 1 tablespoon of batter in each cupcake cavity or liner, on top of the Oreo. Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the tops lose that shiny, wet look.
4. Let them cool for just a minute, then place one Kiss in the center of each brownie bite. Do not move or jiggle your pans or try to remove the bites before the Kiss has completely re-hardened or it will collapse. Cool completely, gently remove from the pan (a knife can help loosen if needed).
5. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
